Flashback & Flash-forward. Cross-referencing the latest influences and insights from recent SS23 Fashion Shows, Instagram and E-Commerce, several distinct style directions for the bag segment can be translated for the next summer. The Millennial shoulder-bag has certainly become the overarching staple shape, but while the sizing remains, the upcoming choice of details can inform new and surprising looks that feel less expected. Racer bags with multiple pockets, integrated hardware for modern hues and novel tilted trapezes or wavy shapes can embed a geometrical twist as strong favorites for next season. Highlight materials, such as jello, glitters, colored animal skins and new metals create a choice of daring ingredients for a seductive yet villainous vibe. But while the season seems super sleek, there is a distinct element of treasured childhood joy that ignites youthfulness and ease. Toy-shapes bags, kidult charms or pneumatic effects are ingredients to elevate our imagination and sharpen our phantasy. Get inspired below:
